Rejuvenate

The Rejuvenate category focuses on nine learning community clusters of schools, a number located in the east of Christchurch that have experienced the greatest damage to facilities and sites, and the most significant level of people movement, both decline and growth.

The Ministry of Education will formally consult with these clusters and their communities on the possible shape of future education provision.

This will include providing detailed information on the issues and options affecting each individual cluster for community consideration.

Boards will formally consult with their communities where closures or mergers are indicated.

This category provides the greatest opportunity to explore some of the innovative options, such as a single education campus that could bring together early childhood education services, schools and tertiary providers, confirmed through the consultation on the Education Renewal Recovery Programme.
